Table 5-1New Pavement ThicknessesPavement Course Thicknesses (mm)Development Scenario 2 3 4Design Aircraft Bombardier Q400 Fokker F100 B 737-800Select Fill (CBR 10) 150mm 180mm 230mmSub-base (CBR 35) 220mm 330mm 270mmBase 150mm 150mm 300mmTotal 520mm 660mm 800mmOverlay SectionAgain based on the above requirements, the adopted design of the overlay thickness for thoseexisting pavement areas in need of strengthening under the future development scenarios is asfollows:Scenario 2:Scenario 3:Scenario 4:Nil requirement (because the existing base appears sound and there isadequate thickness over the existing CBR 35 sub-base material).150mm300mmNote that these thicknesses are the same as the base course thicknesses for the respectivedevelopment scenario – a decision made in the interests of construction convenience.It has also been assumed that existing pavements to be overlaid would have the existing bitumensurfacing removed or pulverised and mixed into the base material immediately prior to theplacement of the overlay course.In relation to Scenario 2, where no overlay is proposed over the existing pavements, it isassumed (and recommended) a program of close monitoring will be implemented to assess theperformance of the existing pavement sections once the Q400 aircraft commence operations.Surfacing ProposalsIt is envisaged that a multi-coat bituminous spray seal (10mm / 7mm) would be provided forScenarios 2 and 3, but a final sand / emulsion coat would be required for the latter. This is acommon norm for airports of this standard in Australia.However, for Scenario 4, a 40mm thick asphaltic concrete surfacing layer with maximumaggregate size of 14mm has been assumed. There are a few examples in Australia of wheremainline jet aircraft have operated from spray sealed runways, but such instances are rare andare usually only a short term situation.Scenarios 3 and 4 will both require a sealed surface extending beyond each runway end for atleast 15m as blast protection.Ref No. 20120935DR1A <strong>Kingscote</strong> <strong>Airport</strong> Infrastructure Study Report 13
